Umm would a rear diffuser have that car on the ground when it got backwards?

At that speed? No way

At that speed? No way

Yeah that car was basically straight backwards when it went up I don't think anything could keep it down

A battleship anchor wasn't keeping it on the ground.

Just wondering if anything could have been done. Thanks

That shot that FS1 has shown along the catch fence looking back toward the wreck is incredible.

Guess we need tethers for the truck arms?

If the pack racing dies down with the NextGen, I'm all for it.

I think I'm tired of stressing about the safety of drivers after bad wrecks at Daytona or Talladega.

Unfortunately, I'm sure NASCAR will revive it by Talladega. Nothing would please me more than to ingest Corvids on this one.

I liked the Coleman Pressley spotter announcing

Just glad everyone survived

I hope NASCAR would not be over confident in this regard.

That's what scares me. We see this happen and people forget about the danger of the sport. I see this and think "man we got away with one"

Just imagine Gen 7 has identical wreck with identical results. Twitter would explode with how unsafe the car is because parts came off.

Count your blessings, for sure. This could have been a lot worse that what it was:

Have they ever been in the last 20 years?

I wonder if Bubba might be rethinking how much he loves that view now

Have they moved where the drivers park their motor homes? I didn't know they were outside the track on the backstretch now.

Pretty sure Brian France was the epitome of over confidence.

That was Michael Jordon's bus

I thought you were talking about safety not stupid.

That was worse than Newman & Keselowski last year @ the 500. Glad he's okay. Congrats to the winner.

Not to undermine this wreck, but that was without question not worse than Newman's crash. Newman went into the fence then got hit driver side window, was probably concussed and missed a few races after.

I don't even remember Brad last year.

You know it's bad when the announcer is shocked he dropped the window net

Tbh I think as far as the the flip it was worse in this case, but nothing compares to the hit Newman took afterwards in his door, so still not close to as bad as Newman's wreck overall IMO

I watched from my couch last night. It was the worse I've seen. The fire, the missing engine, the rear axle, I was holding my breath the whole time. The best thing that happened was Matt getting out of the wreck. Then I find out reading this thread that it could have injured or taken out Wallace and Jordan? Holy chiot. We dodged a big one.

I think he's referring to the wreck on the final lap of the 500.
Myatt climbed out of the car almost immediately. When Newman crashed there were no news on his condition for hours, that was the scariest part of it.

Not trying to be a d!ck but, A ) Newman's wreck at the 500 was 2 years ago. B ) Keselowski wasn't even in the race when the wreck happened. C ) I don't think any one of us can pick which one is "worse".

agreed they learnt there lesson when they lost Dale.
